“People judge me more because of things outside football”: Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has opened up on the criticism he receives for his lifestyle.

The French and Manchester United superstar Paul Pogba is making headlines in the transfer speculations. Pogba had an uneasy season at Manchester United, even though he continues to be the main man for France as they aim for world cup glory in Russia this summer.

Paul Pogba has been often in the headlines for his fancy haircuts and lifestyle outside of football, for which he is constantly criticised. Many believe that he lacks his concentration on football due to his glamorous lifestyle.

However, in a recent Instgram video for Bleacher Report Football, Paul Pogba has opened up on his criticism.

He says, “Before the style, before the fashion, before the music, football came first.” He further adds, “It’s not like I spend more time having one haircut or ten, I think people judge me more because of outside football.”

Pogba insists that his attention to his hairstyle has nothing to do with his football, and should be kept separated.

Paul Pogba also talked about France’s world cup campaign. “You have a nice group, but it’s not about the players you have. It’s about the mentality. All this stuff, all together,” says Pogba.
